Apple Accepting Red Cross Donations Through iTunes to Support Migration Crisis

[soupcan]

You can't fit half of Syria in Europe. You just can't. How about some countries in the Middle East start taking refugees huh? No culture clashing, they speak the language, it's great. Out here they won't get a job, no homes, they don't like Christians which makes up about half of the EU, it's just not going to work. And ISIS is already putting people on the boats so that's not nice either.

There is plenty negative things to say about the fleeing Syrians. Just look at their behavior. Apple should spend more time worrying about building great Macs and spend less time with topics like refugees, diversity and ghetto headphones.

Based on your post, I'd imagine the same hold true for many Arizonans.

A very interesting video that I found, have a look -

In my opinion, they stopped being refuges and became economic migrants when they refused to stay in the nearest stable nation over their pursuit of a wealthier nation with maximum benefits of welfare.
- You may or may not agree with and/or share the same opinion -

Regardless, I highly think that documenting these migrants is highly necessary as some of them are just running away from poverty in Pakistan, Bangladesh etc.

While they are doing a good thing, throwing money at it really isn't going to solve this problem...

Precisely, people have to stop trying to make themselves *feel* good and start *doing* good.

Because in most cases, giving money just doesn't matter in the end, the problem is unsolved and in some cases *prolonged*.

If you care about something, go there and do something about it. Else accept that you can't or won't do anything about it and stop lining the pockets of organizations that feed off other people's suffering.

You can't fit half of Syria in Europe. You just can't.

Half of Syria is 9 million people. Germany has lost 1.7 million people in the past 25 years, so clearly we have some room to spare.

How about some countries in the Middle East start taking refugees huh?

They are. In fact, they're taking plenty. Jordan has taken 641,894, Lebanon has taken 856,529 and Iran has taken 857,352. Meanwhile, Germany has taken 187,505, and the UK 125,991.

Where do we donate to build the Mosques in Germany? Oh that's right, Saudi Arabia has that covered.

Exactly. They need to be sent back in a careful and humane manner. Europe is committing suicide by letting itself get overridden with Muslims.

...not muslims. Humans. This has nothing to do with religions. I hope you never have to flee and claim asylum.

 

[szw-mapple fan]

Nice, you also have no idea what's going on. Most of these people are planning to come to Europe as well but the Turkish government is not letting them leave at this point like due to pressure from the European governments.

Indeed. The Turkish government is not keeping them out, but it's also not providing them with any way to support themselves. So naturally, they would want to come to Europe via illegitimate means.

The Syrian operative claimed more than 4,000 covert ISIS gunmen had been smuggled into western nations – hidden amongst innocent refugees.

The ISIS smuggler, who is in his thirties and is described as having a trimmed jet-black beard, revealed the ongoing clandestine operation is a complete success.

"Just wait," he smiled.

Not saying there aren't innocent people among there, but security needs to come first.

In the case of refugees from European wars in the past or asian natural disasters, etc. there wasn't a high likelihood of bringing in anyone who purposefully would cause trouble. This is different. Unless these refugees can somehow be screened, this is a huge mistake that innocent Europeans, Americans, etc. will spill their own blood for to repay when the inevitable happens.

And by inevitable I am talking shootings/terrorist actions all over the west. It's coming. Just wait. And thanks to Apple we can even help fund it!

I would gladly donate BTW to any fund that will be used for the screening of refugees and prompt jailing and deportation of anyone found to be an ISIS fighter or other troublemaker. Sign me up for that.

Okay, that was one thing I thought was BS. That is clearly an attempt spread Islam than helping people in need. Why mosques and not homes, clothes, and blankets? Saudi Arabia can kiss my ass.

 

[swissmann]

Honestly I'm not well informed as to the current situation. However, I did live in Europe (Switzerland, Germany, Austria) for two years between 1996-1998. Much of my time there was service oriented. I had a fair amount of interaction with refugees during this time. There certainly were refugees in genuine need and there were also refugees that were "opportunists" (like another poster mentioned). We had many admit to making up stories about their wife and kids being brutally murdered so that their refugee status would be accepted. Their life as refugees were pretty care free - getting housing, transportation, and way more money than needed for essential living each month. That extra money would go toward big screen TVs or be sent home to family members. I know there are people who work the system in many different systems. I know there are people in real need. Hoping people are humane, and loving, and honest, and help each other out.

I think it's safe to say you're racist.

People need a place to worship, don't stand in their way.

I brought it up because SA has a village of tents sitting empty and refuse to do anything.

Phobics, isms and buzzwords, OH MY!

 

[bristleworm]

Sad that this story has to be in PRSI. Like its a controversial subject to help people fleeing torture and death.

Unfortunately it has become a controversial subject!

 

[DrewDaHilp1]

I'll donate when oil rich nations like Saudi Arabia, Quatar and UAE step up.

Hey now they offered to pay to have 200 Mosques built in Germany.

 

[trife]

In b4 the racists and Islamaphobes.

Oh, wait.......

 

[superlawyer15]

I was more than happy to support all the times in the past when Apple did this, but I definitely will not be giving a dime towards this one. This isn't a true refugee crisis or an incident caused by a natural disaster like the others, this was a man-made problem fueled by religion.

 

[superlawyer15]

In b4 the racists and Islamaphobes.

Oh, wait.......

1. "islam" isn't a race
2. there's nothing wrong with disliking islam, it's only wrong to dislike people because they happen to be muslim.

 

[jdillings]

Most of those aren't migrants/refugees; they are opportunists.

Short and to the point.

 

[nick42983]

Here's a video of the "refugees" in Hungary throwing away food and water and chanting "No, No" and "Germany, Germany":

Here's some information about what Muslims do with Red Cross packages: http://www.christiansinpakistan.com...rom-red-cross-because-of-the-crosses-on-them/

Whatever percentage of the total are Syrian refugees (you can easily buy forged Syrian documents by the way), they're being screwed by hundreds of thousands of invaders who want nothing but welfare, free housing and free education, of course at the expense of German and other EU taxpayers. You need not look further than the fact that all of these "migrants" are not stopping at a half dozen European countries where they can claim asylum and be safe. They want the benefits that most people in the world don't have. Shame on Germany and Merkel for encouraging them.

 

[SpiderDude]

I know this is the internet but please post links to facts that support what you have posted.
It makes your case that much valid.

Thanks

[ScottishDuck]

Not only that, they are young men who should be fighting for their country, not running to the most generous welfare distributors in Europe. Pathetic.

You're welcome to go help.

 

[JPLC]

I've got a feeling that something very big is goin on here. This could be one of the biggest politcal dramas next to the Gaza conflict. This can't be good, for Europe, the refugees and the countries the're leaving behind.
